No reviews

The House of Sandeman was founded in London in 1790 by George Sandeman, a young Scot from Perth. Specialising in wines from Porto and Jerez, Sandeman was the first company to brand its name on a cask with a hot iron in 1805 and was one of the first to label and advertise its wines. The ‘Sandeman Don’ is one of the world's first ever brand images and the first major icon in the wine world, painted in 1928 by George Massiot Brown. The cape was modelled on the attire worn by university students in Porto, while the wide-brimmed hat was a nod to the family’s presence in Jerez. Although the brand is primarily associated with Port wines, they have been fully committed to sherry since George Sandeman first set up an office in Cádiz in 1809. Today, Sandeman concentrates its efforts in Jerez on the production of a handful of premium quality old solera sherries which have become known as masterpieces of the style.

This luscious PX is aged in a Solera system in Jerez which was first established in 1894. The final wine has an average age of 20 years.

Dark mahogany in colour, the Royal Ambrosante PX Sherry NV has an intensely fragrant aroma combining lush ripe fruits, raisins, toffee, coffee and spice. Full and luscious on the palate, it is smooth, sweet, complex and endlessly concentrated on the finish.
